I have grown real tired of this subject. It is unfortunate that for the rest of our lives this is what we will associate with our era in baseball.
Ironically, with all the heat on the hitters, the pitchers had themselves some great games last year. Coincidence?
I don't think it was. And this year should be even better for pitchers. Last year I think players were still using HGH during the year. Won't happen this year. I suspect a lot of nagging injuries and the hitting stats will be noticeably lower than last year.
Which will sadly bring the ratings down.
People hate cheaters, but an equal number can look past that, as long as the game is entertaining to watch. I.E. Sosa & McGwire...
Yeah, I know if the offense is down then ratings will suffer. That will take a while though. I know casual fans (like my wife) get REAL bored in low scoring games. I think those are more fun, because one swing can change the lead. But I get the "boring" aspect, especially when sitting in 100+ weather in Texas.
LOL, yeah. Like you, I too, think low scoring games can be fun (for the same reasons). Even a 0-0 game could be entertaining.
